Jeg Coughlin Jr. and Todd Frantz both doubled, taking home a pair of trophies at the NHRA JEGS Northern SPORTSnationals this weekend at National Trail Raceway, and Scotty Rienschield scored the win in the NHRA Moser Sportsman Shootout specialty event.

Not only did Coughlin win in both Stock and Super Gas, but the win in Stock also makes him the first driver to win an NHRA national event in seven different classes. The second-generation driver has won in Pro Stock, Super Gas, Super Comp, Super Stock, Comp, Top Dragster, and now in Stock.

Coughlin, of Delaware, Ohio, first met up with Paul Brown, of Cass City, Mich., in Super Gas, taking the win with a 9.949 at 156.52 mph in his ’10 Corvette — the same car his nephew Troy Coughlin Jr. won this event in last year.  He then faced off with former NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series national champion Randy Wilkes in Stock. Coughlin turned on the win light right off the line when Wilkes, of Zanesville, Ohio, went red. Coughlin took his ’10 Corvette straight to winner’s circle, where he celebrated with his dad, Jeg Sr., and the entire JEGS team.

Scotty Reinschield, near lane, beat Marco Abruzzi to win the Moser Shootout.

Frantz worked his way through the field in Super Stock and squared off with Allen Wade, of Rochester, Ind., in the final round. Frantz was out first and held on for the win with a 9.745 at 131.84 mph in his ’88 Beretta to Wade’s quicker 9.264, 142.01 in his ’69 Camaro. Frantz then came back for the final race of the day and knocked out Brian Seibenick, of Toledo, Ohio, in Comp to secure the double. His 8.495 at 130.80 ran down Seibenick’s 8.903, 146.24.

In the NHRA Moser Sportsman Shootout, it was Rienschield, of Brookville, Ind., holding off Marco Abruzzi in the final round with his ’69 Corvette. Rienschield dialed up a 7.53 to Abruzzi’s 4.07 and then put a perfect .000-second reaction time on the board with a 7.550-second pass for the win. Abruzzi, of Warren, Ohio, was right there with a 4.072-second lap at 177.42 mph in his Top Dragster.

Abruzzi also advanced to the final round of Top Dragster for the JEGS event, where he meet up with Joe Hessling, of Toledo, Ohio. Hessling was better at the start with a .10-second reaction time that proved to be the difference, clocking in at 6.371, 206.35 to Abruzzi’s 6.351, 218.27.

In Top Sportsman, it was Tim Irwin collecting his first NHRA Wally trophy as he put his Moser Engineering ’98 Lumina in the winner’s circle with a .11 package. The Portland, Ind., racer went 7.516 on a 7.51 dial to hold off Mark McDonald, of Boonville, Ind., and his ’67 Mustang with a run of 6.885.

Shawn Fricke and Mike Ruzicka grabbed the wins in Super Comp and Super Street, respectively. Fricke, coming down from Flemmington, N.J., posted an 8.890 at 176.07 to win over Steve Hoyt, of Fort Wayne, Ind., in a double-breakout match. Ruzkicka and Phil Smida, of Canfield, Ohio, left the line together with Ruzkicka taking the stripe in 10.902 to Smida’s 10.918.

Olivia Sheets, of Marengo, Ohio, took the title in the Jr. Dragster class with a 7.935-second run over Blaine Bazell, of Lancaster, Ohio.
